Lift on the way!

Look what came in today!

 

SWEEEET!! Don't forget to take some before & after pics for us here on TW!!! I have $700 hundred saved up for my OME lift so far, (i feel i have been saying that for a long time)... Congats Rob!!!

 

There will be plenty of pics

 

Okay, so I have had everything I need to lift my truck for almost a month now. I had a couple of buddies that were gonna help me install everything, but due to them working weekends our schedules conflict. I had a local shop quote me $450 for the install, but I also need to have the cab mounts done, so I'm looking at like $550 or $600 not incuding the alignment.

I'm not an idiot when it comes to vechicles, but I have never replaced any of these parts on a truck before. I have done breaks, rotors, and alternators but I feel like this my be easier to screw up. Should I just jump in and try to do it myself? Or should I just buck up and throw down $600 bucks to have it done professionally?

 

Thanks, I might try and do it this weekend.

 

So I finally put the lift on a couple of weeks ago. I have only taken a coulple of pics so far, but Im going fishing this weekend, so ill take more then. The tires are 33X12.5 Toyo MT with 18" AXT artillerys.

 

looking good man!!!

 

Thanks man.

 

Thanks, My pictures dont do the lift any justice. The truck sits so much higher with the lift on, and I love the clearance I have now.

 

Looks XLNT. Nice job.

 

very jealous, awesome looking truck

 

Thanks guys, Im thinking about taking the chrome off my rear bumper and grill this weekend.

 

did you use your stock lugs with your new wheels?

 

No, I bought a new lug kit.

 

Looks good!... how high did you set your coil overs and do you tires rub?

 

I have about exactly 2 inches of thread left on the coilovers, but I just cranked them until the truck sat level.

The tries rubbed pretty bad at first, but I did some trimming to the fender wells, and I also trimmed the cab mounts. I knew I was going to have to trim the cab mounts, but it wasnt a big deal to me.

 

congrats! you're going to love it, just wait!!

 

So you trimmed the cab mounts with a torch or a grinder?
